Wash and peel the raw mango. Cut off the top part and chop the mango into small pieces.
In a pan, add fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, and yellow mustard seeds. Sauté continuously for 2 minutes on low flame.
Transfer the sautéed seeds to a mixer jar and coarsely grind them.
Heat mustard oil in a kadhai (wok) until it smokes. Let it cool slightly.
Add cumin seeds, bay leaves, and Kashmiri red chili powder to the oil and mix well.
Add the chopped mango pieces to the kadhai and mix everything well. Stir occasionally for 5 minutes.
Add the ground spices, nigella seeds, turmeric powder, salt, and asafoetida to the kadhai. Mix well and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool completely. Transfer the pickle to a jar and pour mustard oil over it to preserve.
Ensure the mustard oil is heated until it smokes to enhance the flavor of the pickle.
Use fresh and firm raw mangoes for the best texture and taste.
Store the pickle in a clean, dry jar to prevent spoilage.
Allow the pickle to rest for a day before consuming for better flavor infusion.
